Today, just like the past 2 weeks, I'm so broke that I only got to eat dinner because I went on a first date with a guy from Tinder. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I agreed to go on a date with the creepy guy from my Economics class because I'm so broke that I could really use the free meal. FML
Today, I was on a first date. When the bill came, he refused to pay for my $6 salad. I had to go ATM-hunting to pay for my $6 salad. FML
Today, I was on a dinner date with a guy I really like. I guess I was on my phone too much because halfway through the date he sent me a text saying how much my half of the bill would be. FML
Today, during a Tinder date, the guy spent a solid hour talking about the Tinder date he went on yesterday with someone else. Honestly, I only stayed to the end because the restaurant was excellent. The guy was actually confused when I split the bill and didn’t want to have sex with him. FML
Today, I went on a coffee date with a guy I'm interested in. He picked up his phone mid-date to finalize dinner plans with another girl. FML
Today, I went on a dinner date with the guy I like. He ate all his food then started eating off my plate, going on to eat over half of my food. When the bill came, he made me pay for it. FML
Today, I’m so ugly, I had to pay for more likes on Tinder because I ran out of them. FML
Today, I went on a date for the first time in ages, only to realize that the guy I was seeing chose to take us to a specific restaurant in able to stalk his ex. FML
Today, I was so broke and hungry that I went to Olive Garden and faked being stood up, just so I could eat their breadsticks. FML
Today, after not dating for 2 years, I went out on 2 dates. I got stood up both times. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I feel a little bad for your dates. No one likes to be used for money. Maybe I'm just a little too feminist, but I don't think it's fair that men are expected to pay for all the dates, or all of the date, and I don't think it's fair that some women use men for a free meal ticket. Now, if you genuinely were on a date with him and looking for an honest connection or hook up, then maybe okay? Still, ramen diners cost under a dollar and while not nutritious in the least, at least no one is being used.

Im honestly not sure who to feel bad for - you or your dates. I can relate waiting to getting paid and not really having food in the house, but to use dates for food is sad and hurtful to your date. Mind you, Ive never been on Tinder, and not sure 100% what that is other than guessing its a dating app (site?)

I'm not saying I've never been so poor I've only had fries and Ramen for a month but I've never used anyone without being honest that I was starving and that was my interest. I'm not broke now, but I also don't have anyone that uses me.

Hope you were at least repaying the favour ;) You know what I mean.

Yeah, because having sex with someone is totally an equal payment for a $20 meal. Were you dropped on your head as a child?

At least you can get dates from tinder

Do you have a Food Bank around you or some kind of aid that can help? Its OK to ask for it. Hang in there, feeding off of dates isn't the way to go.

This says a lot about you as a person. And that's not a compliment.

Well most guys are expecting to get lucky. They go on a date and waste time and money in hope something will happen afterwards. OP is in it for the meal, but who knows maybe she's up to pay back in different way If you know what I mean lol!!

Oh, you're broke? Poor thing. On the plus side, I bet you love your computer, iPhone, and whatever else of value you may have.
